Disposal vs Reusable Sharps Containers

Disposal vs Reusable Sharps Containers

April 28, 2020

Daniels Sharpsmart reusable sharps containers eliminate the need to purchase and dispose of single-use sharps containers, delivering not only a cost saving but also showing a lot of love for the environment.

With 30% of the volume of every sharps container being plastic, this can be saved from going to landfill with a reusable system. Worldwide every year, hundreds of thousands of tons of unnecessary waste from disposable plastic sharps containers are going into landfill – we think we can do better.

Daniels Sharpsmart containers are fitted with a water-tight seal that prevents leakage and is transport compliant.

Accessories enable the Daniels Sharpsmart containers to be securely mounted on the wall or bench as close to point of care as possible or moved with ease using the Cartsmart 1 or Cartsmart 2 (trolleys / transporters).

Each container is robotically washed through a 6-stage decontamination and sanitisation process. ‍

What about the environmental impact?

When a reusable container is filled, only the waste inside it is destroyed, lessening the environmental impact of discarded plastic sent to landfill.

Daniels containers are hygienically washed through a vigorous robotic washing process which achieves the most significant bacterial load reduction in the industry.

eliminates the landfilling of approximately 4 691 disposable containers per annum.

The significantly reduced impact on the environment is only part of the benefit of using Daniels Sharpsmart containers as a sharps waste disposal solution. Safety is also a strong drawcard and Daniels Health have invested millions of dollars in research and development, clinical trials and manufacturing refinement to ensure this.
